Question:

Tow Vehicle: 2015 F150, 6.5foot bed, 3.5L Eco-boost, 3:55 rear end, max trailer tow package, rated to tow 11,900 TT: Lacrosse 324RST, GVWR 9800, Tongue weight 980, factory specs not actually measured, never towed with black,grey, or fresh water Hitch: Equalizer 4 point 12K Issue: When towing using WDH front end feels unstable and squirrelly. Have worked online extensively with Equalizer making various adjustments. Was advised not to put on air bags but use Timbrens on the rear to keep rear from squaring so much. Thoughts? Suggestions??

Expert Reply:

For what you are looking for I would actually recommend air bags over Timbrens. Timbrens offer great suspension support, but they are not adjustable. For what you are looking for the ability to fine tune the amount of suspension support would be the best solution.

The correct kit for your vehicle would be the Firestone part # F2582 as it has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.
